In every issue of Bicycling magazine that you receive, you will be privy to reviews of bikes, gear, apparel, components, and tools. You will love all the insider information that you will get so that you can always be sure to make the best purchases for your hobby. Whether you compete in races multiple times a year or enjoy riding with your spouse on the weekends, you will love all this publication has to offer you. There is also a buyer’s guide and a section explaining how to do easy repairs so that you are always prepared for anything your bike may need.

Training and Nutrition

There are also great articles about training and fitness in each issue. Bicycling magazine ensures that you have the information you need to train responsibly while you are still meeting your goals. Whether you have an upcoming race in mind or are hoping to loss some weight, there are plenty of articles in each issue to fit any of your needs. There are also nutrition suggestions to either keep you fueled or help you with your fitness goals. Not to mention all that, but there are also great articles about injury prevention and what to do if you do become injured.

Ride and Race

Bicycling magazine caters to cyclers of all levels and preferences. If you are looking to ride professionally, there are great suggestions for races in each issue as well as coverage of the major races in the world of cycling. Some of the races covered by the magazine are Tour de France, Tour of California, USPCC, and Cyclocross. If you are a more amateur rider or just like to ride for enjoyment, there are great featured rides in each issue as well as city guides on Bicycling online.

The majority of articles written in Bicycle Magazine are geared toward expensive, high-end bikes and equipment. I believe that this approach leaves out a vast majority of readers that fall into the category of "average" bikers with "average" income levels with moderate discretionary spending.

This magazine is way too top heavy on high-end stuff and,while this may appeal to some, a more balance approach would be very appreciated by other readers of this magazine.

Product reviews don't always have to include $300 helmets, $500 cranksets, $10,000 bikes, or $150 bike lights. There are ample products way under these price ranges that are just as good, if not better in some cases.

I feel these are the major faults of Bicycle Magazine, and as a result, I cannot recommend this publication to my friends or family; the magazine is just too one-sided. To really be representative of its readership, the content must be better at reaching all strata of bicycle enthusiasts, and not just to the rarefied area of top-end (read: expensive) bike gear and bikes.
